A client scheduled for a femoral popliteal bypass is to be assigned to a semi-private room. Which client would be the most suitable roommate for the client with a femoral popliteal bypass graft?
- A. A client with a pituitary tumor
- B. A client with respiratory sarcoidosis
- C. A client with a diabetic ulcer
- D. A client with a closed fracture of femur
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The client with a pituitary tumor is the most suitable roommate as they are unlikely to have an infectious condition or mobility issues that could complicate recovery. Respiratory sarcoidosis may involve respiratory issues, increasing infection risk. A diabetic ulcer poses an infection risk due to potential open wounds. A closed femur fracture may involve similar mobility restrictions, complicating room logistics.

- B. The client's weight loss is greater than 10 pounds.
- C. The client's stools contain less fat and occur with less frequency.
- D. The client's tissue bruises less easily.
